Kennedy To Outline Order ' For Legislative Program Washington. DC.- President elect Mia F Kenned y will prob ably indicate, in his inaugural ad dress January 30, Use order in which Ik* will ask Coagraai for key bill* in hia legislative programs I High on the achedule art expect ed U? be federal aid tor education, medical car* for the aged, aid to : (Uatnaaaed areaa, housing, and mini MMiin wage. M*' Eventually, though possibly not immediately, Kennedy i* expected to aak for legislation making the federal Civil Rights Commiaaioo ja permanent arm of the govern ment He will also probably re quest that Congress broaden the powers and scope of authority of this commission. Washington reports indicate that Kennedy plans to dismiss practical ly all the scores of Civil Rights Commission employees, and to re staff the entire Commission with hand-picked men. ? ; It Is considered unlikely that he i will subscribe to the recommenda tions of the present Civil Rights Commission Director, Cordon Tif fany, who has suggesAl that Con gress cut back on the Congression- I al representation of states where {Negroes are said to be discrimi nated against at the polls. Nor is Congress likely to accept any such recommendation, even though the Federal Constitution Soft Shoulders Lethal Danger "Soft shoulders along the high way are not themselves enough to warrant accidents, " says Jerry Coe of the Coe Insurance It Realty Co. "The danger liea in motorists not knowing the proper way to get back on the highway when they get onto a soft shoulder. "What often happens," Coe says, "is that the driver attempts to get back on the pavement too quickly. The result is that he may end up ?hooting across the road into the path of an oncoming car. In other cases he skids, is hit by ? vehicle coming from the rear or goes into the ditch." According to Kemper Insurance safety engineers, there is a correct way to right your car when you find yourself in such a predica ment. Most important, KEEP CALM. Don't apply your brakes or attempt to cut back aharply onto the pavement. Hold tightly to the steering wheel and take your foot off the gas pedal. Wait until the speed of your car is reduced enough that you have it well under control. After making certain that your re turn to the pavement will not Interfere with the progress of ve hicles approaching you from the front or rear, turn your front wheels to the left. When your car again is com pletely on the pavement you will be able to straighten it out and continue down the highway. (Adv.) , doc* povide for such action, if discrimination of this type can be proven. : 4 President-eiect Kennedy's cabi net nominees will probably be con firmed by the Senate with a mini mum of trouble. But before things reach this state, the cabinet nomi nees are likely U have their public records and individual prileeophles gone over with a fine tooth comb by the various Congressional Com mittees which must clear their names before they are sent to the floor for action by the full Senate. For example, Senator James O. Eastland's Judiciary Committee will question Robert F. Kennedy closely on his legal experience or lack of it? hia views on civil rights, and what, if anything, he thinks should be done in this field, and just what he intends to do about isolating his "fortune" from conflict-of-interest problems. Ken nedy has been tapped by his bro ther, the President-elect, to be U.S. Attorney General. Orville Freeman, named by Ken nedy to head the Agriculture De partment, will undoubtedly be grilled by the Senate Agriculture Committee regarding his close ties with the Farmers Union, the more liberal of the major farm organiza tion!, and how he intends to solve the nation's complex farm prob lem. And John Connally, tapped as the new Navy Secretary, will prob ably have to tell the Senate Armed Services Committee that he is will ing to give up his post as trustee for the estate of oil millionaire Sid Richardson, so as not to be In volved i n conflict - of ?
